The controversy unfolded as Jake voiced his objections on social media during the championship game. He called for viewers to turn off the halftime performance, arguing that supporting Bad Bunny meant endorsing someone he believed didn't appreciate America. Jake resides in Dorado, Puerto Rico, in a luxurious property valued at 16 million dollars with all the trimmings including eight bedrooms and a resort-style pool.
Logan Paul’s response took a different tone. Speaking out against his brother’s harsh words, Logan embraced America's shared identity with Puerto Rico. He said on social media platform, "I love my brother but I don't agree with this. 'Puerto Ricans are Americans & I'm happy they were given the opportunity to showcase the talent that comes from the island."
Logan's stance received positive feedback from fans who appreciated his inclusive perspective. In contrast, Jake faced backlash as critics highlighted his decision to relocate to Puerto Rico back in 2021, widely viewed as a move linked to tax incentives.
Bad Bunny’s performance touched off discussions about cultural representation in high-profile events like the Super Bowl and brought divided opinions among audiences. While some questioned if his Spanish-language set represented U.S culture adequately, others praised it as an authentic representation of Hispanic and Latino communities.
The incident captured attention due to its unusual public disagreement between Jake and Logan Paul. With each taking different sides in this cultural debate surrounding American citizenship and cultural identity — both saw varied reactions reflecting diverse perspectives across states.
